The textile & clothing industry is the second most polluting industry in the world. Swapaholic came to life as a way to empower us collectively to change this shocking fact!

The textile and clothing industry is stuck in a viscous cycle. One of the industry’s largest causes of concern is wasteful production and consumption. We demand fashion, and the industry responds by creating cheap and frequent products by exploiting natural & human resources. And these increas- ingly affordable items encourage us to buy more than we could ever wear. And so the cycle continues.

LET’S MOVE FROM THE VISCOUS CYCLE TO CLOSING THE LOOP.

The fact is, that most of us use only about 30% of our closet’s components. The 70% we don’t use, are hoarded purposelessly with the eventual fate of ending up in a landfill even though they don’t yet belong there! In Singapore alone, we throw about 150,000 tonnes of fabric and textile waste annually ( roughly 120 shirts per person ) ; of which 90% could have been recycled in some way or form! Swapping gives us an option to put an end to these detrimen- tal practices, and have fun while doing it!

Co-dreamers

Raye founded Swapaholic ( then known as Swagalls ) in 2016, under his NPO and just complete Connected Threads Asia, as a probono initiative to save the world from the hazardous textile industries’ practices. In parallel, Priyanka pursued her own textile sustainability journey under her social enterprise, One With Earth. It was only inevitabe that Raye and Priyanka forged a friendship based on their common dreams; soon realising their passions were undeniably intertwined. They officially came together in December 2016 and thus Swapaholic was reborn as a marriage of Raye’s purist vision and Priyanka’s experience in enterprise innovation.

Their common dream is to create a world where fashion businesses don’t have to cost the earth, literally. Every aspect of Swapa- holic’s operations are painstakingly managed to do away with environmental and social exploitation. The Co-dreamers aspire for Swapaholic to embody the principals of circular design and the foundational values of empathy and zero waste.
